Term
| Name the 3 pairs of salivary glands |
|
Definition
parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual/submaxillary |
|
|
Term
Which of the following cell types is not present in the exocrine glands.
Serous acinar cells
Glial cells
mucous acinar cells |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is secreted by serous acinar cells |
|
Definition
| water, inorganic salts, salivary amylase |
|
|
Term
| What cell types secrete glycoprotein mucin? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The salivary gland is an exocrine gland |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Function of saliva that is not lubrication or starch breakdown |
|
Definition
| Immunglobulins for defence |
|
|
Term
| The primary secretion is in the duct of the exocrine gland |
|
Definition
| False. Acinar cells are in the bulb not in the duct. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate |
|
|
Term
| The concentration of potassium and bicarbonate in saliva is the same as in plasma |
|
Definition
| False. Higher concentrations of these ion in saliva. |
|
|
Term
| Name the inorganic ions that are extracted in the duct cells |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The primary secretion is isotonic |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Name the division of the ANS that predominantly controls saliva secretion |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Atropine increases saliva secretion. |
|
Definition
| False. Atropine is a mAChr antagonist which will inhibit atropine secretion. |
|
|
Term
| Name the main component of the aqueous part of pancreatic juice |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Name the non-aqueous component of pancreatic juice and give its function |
|
Definition
Enzyme
digestion of fats, carbs and proteins |
|
|
Term
| Secretin stimulates release of pancreatic juice via second messenger |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Chyme in the duodenum stimulates reflex secretion of pancreatic juice and bile |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Name the transporter through which chloride diffuses into the duct gland of the pancreas |
|
Definition
| cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator |
|
|
Term
| How is bicarbonate produced in the duct cells of the exocrine pancreas? |
|
Definition
| CO2 diffuses into the cell. Combines with water to produce carbonic acid. This then disociates into bicarbonate and a proton. |
|
|
Term
| Name the ion that is counter-transported with bicarbonate in the duct of the exocrine pancreas |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Enzymes are secreted in the inactive form from the pancreatic acinar cells |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Name the enzyme that activates proteases in the duodenum |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Carboxypeptidase, trypsin and chymotrypsin are secreted in pancreatic juice |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Other that proteases name 2 enzymes secreted by the exocrine pancreas |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Pancreatic trypsin inhibitor prevents small amounts of active trypsin in the pancreas from becoming active within the pancreas |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Distension of the stomach stimulates reflex pancreatic secretion |
|
Definition
| True. Gastropancreatic Reflex |
|
|
Term
| Name 3 phases of pancreatic secretion |
|
Definition
Cephalic (25%)
Gastric (10%)
Intestinal (65%) |
